@Allan_Skipper as long as you speak English the Echo works anywhere in the world. I have one in the UK and one in Spain. Both work perfectly well with a few limitations obviously. However, for smart home use they work probably as well as they would in the US.

So this isn’t confirmed as a release though is it? They just sent out an invite without telling what the event is for and the speculation is that its a UK launch of the echo. Lets hope they release them all at the same time (inc. the dot etc).
